Basketball Trainers are especially designed for people who play basketball and are conceived with the main requirements of a basketball player in mind, running, jumping, moving quickly from side-to-side, blocking and shooting.

Different players will require different types of basketball shoes. Power players will wear high-top shoes that provide good ankle support; all-rounders will wear a hybrid shoe that has mid-soles; whilst speedsters will require light-weight, low-tops with no ankle restrictions so that they can move freely and quickly around the court.

When choosing a basketball shoe that’s right for you, look out for the material it is made from: a mixture of synthetic leather and natural leather or textile is usually preferred. Other features to think about are the pillow-like landing pads, which can be found in many models and heel plates for increased support.
